BISYS(R) Names Chairman Robert Casale Interim CEO; Company to Pursue Strategic Alternatives.

ROSELAND, N.J. -- The BISYS Group, Inc., a leading provider of outsourcing solutions for the financial services sector, announced today that its Board of Directors has accepted the resignation submitted by Russell P. Fradin, President, Chief Executive Officer and Director of the Company, effective September 5, 2006. Robert J. Casale, the Chairman of the Board, will serve as interim President and Chief Executive Officer while the Company seeks a permanent successor. The Board has formed a search committee to find a permanent President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Fradin has advised the Board that he intends to pursue another opportunity.

"Our Board of Directors and management continue to be sharply focused on addressing the challenges facing the Company, on doing what it takes to maintain stability within our business and on identifying and pursuing the path which best serves the interests of the Company's shareholders," Mr. Casale said. "We appreciate the contributions Russ has made during his tenure with the Company and I look forward to working with the management team to help the Company achieve its objectives and to continue to provide excellent service to our customers."

Exploration of Strategic Alternatives

The Company also announced that it has recently initiated a process to explore strategic alternatives as part of its continued effort to maximize shareholder value. The Company's Board of Directors is engaging Bear, Stearns & Co., Inc. to advise it in connection with this process.

Update on Filings

As a result of Mr. Fradin's departure, and the resulting likelihood that the CEO certification required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 with respect to the Company's Form 10-K for fiscal 2006 will not be available on a timely basis, the Company expects that its fiscal 2006 Form 10-K filing will be delayed beyond the normal filing date. The Company is working to complete the filing process promptly.

The Company has yet to complete its filing for Q3 fiscal 2006. The Company intends to provide additional information concerning the results for the full fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 following the publication of its Q3 fiscal 2006 Form 10-Q. Although the Company does not currently intend to provide earnings guidance for fiscal year 2007 given the present circumstances, it expects that its fiscal year 2007 earnings per share results will be substantially below the current mean First Call consensus estimate for fiscal year 2007 earnings per share.
